ABSTRACT

Diabesity is the coexistence of both diabetes and obesity, with or without any other associated risk factors like dyslipidemia or hypertension. It is now considered as one of the major public health problem that has now evolved as a global threat. A basic and thorough overview of the literature was done. Many offline and online data-bases (NCBI, PubMed, Google Scholar, ProQuest, Scopus and EBSCO) were taken into consideration. The review articles and research papers related to this topic, published by various reputed publishers were considered as the data collection primary resource for this review article. The paid articles were accessed through the Centre Library facility of the university in order to maximize the information about the current topic. Worldwide, a rapid rise in the prevalence of cases of diabetes as well as obesity has been observed. The major causes of diabesity are the sedentary life style, change in the environment and dietary habits. Diabesity increases the morbidity and mortality hence needs to be managed in time. The management strategies must aim to achieve glycemic control, and also simultaneously aim in acquiring an optimal weight in case of diabesity. Various management protocols like lifestyle modification, exercise, healthy diet, medicines and surgeries have been recommended to manage diabesity. Diabesity is now considered as global epidemics now. However, timely intervention and management strategies can reduce the financial and health related burden arising due to it and also help in tackling the complications associated with it.
